Whereas clearly the followers at home had been the tall winners in NASCAR‘s return to racing this week, on the computer screen it used to be Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin who took home the hardware from the first two races following the resumption of competition.

Alex Bowman (Auto Club) and Kevin Harvick (Darlington-1) are the fully other drivers with wins this season

If Hamlin is to total a hat trick on the season subsequent week at Charlotte, he would must rating his first trudge on the 1.5-mile computer screen to assassinate so. The motive force of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota has a suggest place of 12.3 at Charlotte, at the side of a pair of runner-up finishes on the computer screen (every races in 2012). On the opposite hand, his work as of slack in the Queen Metropolis has been impressive as he has completed in the tip 5 in 5 of the the rest seven races at Charlotte.

Logano does dangle a victory in Charlotte, albeit in the marginally shorter 500-mile tumble model that former to spin on the oval ahead of 2018. He took the rating in 2015, and struggled a small since then. After placing ninth in this Would possibly possibly well trudge in 2016, Logano averaged a place of 26.25 in the next four races (36th, 21st, 26th, 22nd) unless his runner-up place in the Coca-Cola 600 remaining spring.

With a pair of 32nd-space finishes (Daytona, Phoenix), Truex produced a suggest place of 24.5 in the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota over that stretch earlier than the shutdown ensuing from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The results dropped his reasonable place over the first six races to 16.2 and mark his fully two prime-10s of the season.

And with two photography on the 1.5-mile Charlotte computer screen subsequent week, it is going to be the gap at which Truex breaks into the tip 5 for the first time this season — or even perhaps visits Victory Lane. Truex is a two-time winner of the Coca-Cola 600, at the side of a dominant efficiency in 2016 in which he led 392 of the 400 laps. His other rating in the persistence trudge came true a 300 and sixty five days ago.
